Paper Summary

The soil at Kano University of Science and Technology Wudil Teaching, Research and Commercial Farm is slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. The exchangeable acidity and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil are low. Adding organic and inorganic fertilizers can increase organic matter and improve CEC levels. Liming the soil is recommended to enhance production capacity in the area.
